US 20 / I-15 connector report released

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)-The Federal Highway Administration has approved an Idaho Transportation Department report on the Interstate 15-U.S. 20 connector study. 

The planning and environmental documents are now published online.

The report examined six interchanges, focused on potential transportation and environmental issues they might affect. The study provides a long-term vision and implementation plan for the two highways.

The study recommends two alternatives and a “no-build” alternative for further analysis in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.  

The next step of the project will look at specifics and identify an action plan.
